Weekend OOTDs: Army Green, Cream and (RED)

We had a busy, busy Saturday that started early with me taking my daughter to school for community service (where she got to make craft projects for various associations) followed by a birthday party. I wasn't sure what to wear as I was getting dressed, I wanted something casual but also cute because I was going to see a lot of friends from preschool (I know, I talk like I was the one going to preschool) that I haven't seen in a while. Also, I wasn't sure about the temperature but I took a chance and dressed for warm weather and it was a good call because it got superhot by lunchtime. Like, HOT!

I was very happy about how this outfit turned out, I really liked it. I wanted to wear the Embroidered flower top from the summer but didn't want to wear jeans (this top looks a bit sloppy with jeans, probably because I ordered a S instead of my usual XS and it is a bit big). I have a pair of chinos (can't remember the name, they are from early spring and I paid $11 for them) in the exact same color so I just added a belt in a contrasting shade of burgundy to break the all-creamy outfit. The belt matches a pair of crocheted earrings that I got in Italy and give any outfit a little "western" accent (these are not by Cruciani but by made by a local store at the beach town):





The belt also matched my pedicure but I ended up "covering" it with my camo Revas. I am not sure I showed you these already but I got them on ebay in late spring and they are one of my favorite pair of shoes. I highly recommend them if you are into camo prints and can find a pair on ebay (I had to stalk ebay for quite long but I am so happy I got them and for a decent price to boot):



They look especially nice with my military jacket. I can't get enough of this jacket. As you may remember I got it in the spring at Bloomingdales but you can still find it at Calypso.
Anyway, this is the outfit:




The outfit was very comfortable to wear except when I tried to teach my daughter how to do a cartwheel in the park. I was very good at cartwheels when I was young but it was 25 years since the last time I did one. I am proud to report that I didn't break anything and I am actually still quite good at it. But the next time I will wear gym clothes!

Yesterday my husband left for a 5-day business trip in the morning. I HATE being all by myself on a Sunday but in this case it turned out to be not so bad because my daughter went off to the neighbors (who have two girls aged 8 that my daughter loves to play with) all the afternoon and I could catch the Season 2 Homeland marathon on Showtime (they were airing the last 6 episodes of season 2 that I still had to watch, as my husband and I were catching up on season 2 on DVD and had just watched up to episode 6) before the premiere of Season 3 yesterday night (BTW, I have a big crush on Damian Lewis-Nicholas Brody). So despite the nice weather I just went out briefly in the morning when I took my daughter to Barnes and Noble (where we bought some books for her taking advantage of a double member discount). I threw on a very old Gap tee that I still love after all these years (it was from the RED campaign and quite popular at that time, I remember seeing SJP in this same tee) and my combo of military jacket and camo Revas again:



I felt very Carrie (Mathison, not Bradshaw) in this outfit ;-).

Anyone watched the Homeland Season 3 premiere?
